Seat cowl

I got the Ballistic Lithium battery (Thanks Santa!), and fitted it into the seat cowl- great fit! Ready to finish the seat, tank and on to Lighting.

Ya- shes crafty. Thanks and what do you think-form and weld some sheetstock, or use aluminum? I like the idea-

Decided to dance with who brung me......woodworking. I have toyed with fiberglass seats in the past, and this will be resin covered after I shape it a bit as well. I wanted to see if I liked a bit more square edged line with this rather than the typical round backed bump stop seat. We shall...

26"

No- some kind of heavy duty cabinet panel I believe- 3/32"-1/8" thick

electrical tray

Thanks to the superb pilfering skills of Johnd900, we had the needed stock to build the underseat electrical mounting tray. The idea here is to clean up as much of the electrical as possible, keep it out of sight, neat and organized. We built in with a slightly deeper section toward the front...

I would not hesitate to roll my 700+ pound Road King on it- put it that way- you wont ever break this

Perfectly- Its very stout!

Ya- I suppose- Overjacking on the rear brake like that probably gives one a new persepctive on backing her in, especially if you jump on this after riding something with a typically marginal rear brake!

That is good looking! best use of a CX500 yet!

Impatience......its my thing. Here is the tank with the Flying Horse in place- and a symbolic red fabric where the seat will be made up to kind of show the color of how it should come together- Seat work is next and electrical!

Slow going, but steady progress- Now looking for Opinions- Im thinking of leaving the tank black, with perhap Johnd900's suggestion tday of a thin gold and red pin stripe detail- I have these vintage style Mobil Pegusus decals I think would look very cool- ala vintage motor racing liveries of...

I like the look and the sublte mods you made- I would drop the bars a bit- more clubman or GP type or even drag bars- I think that would gve it a bit more attack- I Dig that bike though!!!

Lovin this build~! Great job!

ehhhh...I was hoping that I didnt need to split the cases. I had heard you neededto , but hoped for a small miracle. since shes runs and I need to rebuild the starter anyway- Im not super anxious to split her belly open, but let me know what you think you want for all the parts- just in case!

Thank you sir!

Thanks! Ok- Im not remounting the stock pegs anyway- I will be doing something custom- I think we can work around it??

No! I cant decide but the further i get, the more i like the idea of keeping it black and gold- maybe a small accent in gold on the black tank with a small burgundy or rd pin stripe to seperate the colors- ?
